Two waves are represented as $y_1 = a_1 \sin \left( \omega t - \frac{2\pi x}{\lambda} \right)$ and $y_2 = a_2 \cos \left( \omega t - \frac{2\pi x}{\lambda} + \frac{\pi}{6} \right)$. The path difference between the two waves is:

  • A
    $\frac{\lambda}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{\lambda}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{\lambda}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{\lambda}{2}$
